It was what I was waiting for. I got the original HL2 when it came out that came with CS:S and HL1. Now I am going to pick this up to get EP1 and EP2 plus TF2 and Portal. My friend that bought EP1 when it first came out is pissed that I am now getting all that for the same price he paid for just EP1. I told him to wait, but he wouldn't listen. I like the fact that I found it at Circuit City for $38 too.

the ending was a bitch, i just wanted it to end and it took forever to lead up to that like 2 minute finale (i think i spelt that right, haha) but great game. TF2 will be the best online multi player game of the year, no doubt about it.

Yes, but I think the main thing to focus on was how amazing EP2 was!!! EP2 was not only the funnest episode yet, but it also had an amazing plot line with many many questions left to be answered for the next installment.

haha yea, that last cinematic w/ Eli was intense! It was sad to see him go, I'm still not entirely sure why they killed him off, but it definitely set the mood for the next episode... I wonder if there will be a cool way to kill advisors like they did with the striders.

On the topic of Portal, thats one fantastic game and if it can be moded to be played online some how even better. What I also noticed was that on the bonus map section theirs a button that allows you to open up custom maps, if they make it so you can download more maps or make your own map OMG

Great idea... Someone with source modding knowledge needs to get on this!

Its not possible .
You can set random spawn points for players, items etc but there is no way you will ever create a random map generator for a Source based game. It would be incredibly resource consuming, and would take an unimaginable amount of time to come up with. There are so many variables to these maps and they absolutely kill a system to render.

I'd love to be able to play TF2 and Portal ,but im one of the lucky few that appears to get severe motion sickness when playing any HL2 addon/mod

Have tried many fixes and none seem to work.

What have you tried? I did some research on that issue and there are many things that people have done to alleviate or elliminate the vertigo.

On another note, I got the OB all load and installed after many hours of 56K modem goodness.

Started with HL2. I forgot how fun I had with the gravity gun, and seeing it in 2560x1600 is even better. Having not played a shooter is quite some time, I am happy to report that I am still a pretty fair shot! Not great, but not too bad.
